Robbie Neilson hopes Hearts can finalise the signing of teenage Australia international forward Garang Kuol on loan from Newcastle in the coming days.
The 18-year-old, who played for the Socceroos at the World Cup in Qatar, visited the Jambos’ training base last week with a view to moving to Edinburgh to accelerate his development after joining the Magpies this month from Central Coast Mariners in his homeland.
Neilson revealed that a deal has now been agreed between the clubs and it could be formalised before Friday’s cinch Premiership match at home to St Mirren.
